So, long review warning, but i have to talk about how much i love this product! I've used a few different flexible tripods, and this one is by far the best one I've used. Its large and sturdy, and i feel confident that it can hold my phone or camera. I use flexible tripods primarily for my Zoom audio sound device and Canon Camera to record odd angles that are hard for me to get with regular tripods. The TPD108B is the most stable flexible tripod i've used to date; the joints pivot well and are extremely strong strong and are not flimsy, also the screw in the top is very strong, this is a big for me because i use expensive products with this tripod. Other products like this on the market are made cheap.  The size of this tripod is great and the legs are long enough that i can wrap them around things and use it as a stand.
